Assisted Stretch & Recovery

Unlock your body’s potential with one-on-one flexibility training

Whether you’re an athlete, an active adult, or just looking to move more comfortably, flexibility is essential—and often the missing piece in most fitness routines. Our Assisted Stretching Program helps improve mobility, prevent injury, and boost overall performance.

Using PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation), our certified trainers guide your muscles into a greater range of motion safely and effectively—achieving in one session what might take days on your own. Even if you stretch regularly, some areas are hard to reach alone—that’s where our trainers come in.

This program is for everyone, from beginners to Olympic-level athletes. Invest in your greatest freedom: the freedom to move.

Why Flexibility Training Matters

Stretching is more than a fitness extra—it’s a foundation of healthy movement. Regular flexibility training can:

Improve range of motion and joint health
Reduce stiffness and muscle tightness
Enhance athletic performance
Boost circulation and muscle recovery
Help prevent injury
Increase daily comfort and mobility

Unlike cardio and strength training, stretching can and should be done daily—and the benefits are immediate.
